Browns K Dustin Hopkins is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Chiefs. He's struggled all year, missing nine FGs and two XPs. Hopkins will be replaced by K Riley Patterson, who would be a bad fantasy play with rain and wind expected in Cleveland today.

The Jets have released K Riley Patterson and signed K Anders Carlson. It looks like it'll be Carlson kicking for New York vs. the Cardinals this weekend. He kicked for the 49ers in their last two games, making all five FG attempts and three of four XPs. Carlson is a middling Week 10 fantasy option.

Jets K Greg Zuerlein will miss Thursday night's game vs. the Texans with a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Perhaps the knee explains Zuerlein's struggles this season. He's connected on just nine of 15 FG attempts through eight games. The Jets signed Ks Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader to their practice squad. One of them will kick against Houston, but you should avoid the situation in fantasy lineups.

Update: Zuerlein has been placed on IR. He can be dropped from fantasy rosters.

Browns K Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jets. Riley Patterson will kick in his place but is not a strong fantasy option with Cleveland's implied total at just 21 points.
